Check-Cap shares surge 138.59% after-hours after clearing Nasdaq compliance, advancing MBody AI merger.

Check-Cap surged 138.59% in after-hours trading following confirmation that it has regained Nasdaq shareholders' equity compliance, a critical milestone for its highly approved merger with MBody AI. The company previously secured 98% shareholder approval for the merger in November 2025, and the recent Nasdaq compliance clearance, announced on January 23, 2026, removes a key regulatory hurdle, keeping the transaction on track for completion. The after-hours rally reflects renewed investor confidence in the merger’s progress and the company’s compliance with exchange requirements, which ensures continued market access and validates the strategic partnership’s viability.
